CoP has that same potential... if jumps actually got hit harder when you fell...

Not so much, though. Even if you hit the jump you might already have lost because of an inadvertent under-rotation in the first minute that neither you nor the audience even knows you did. Or maybe the flying entrance to your (F)CCoSp didn't have a distinct enough fly on the entrance, and you received 0 credit for the element (as happened to Mao at the Japan open).

At least a golfer knows that he missed the putt -- and so does the audience.
